Spotted cats are particularly popular, probably because their fur pattern looks like the one of a wildcat. It was not easy to breed them because wild cats are hard to domesticate. In the early 60ies, an Asian Leopard Cat(Felis Bengalensis)could be crossed with a short hair house cat. Thus, a new breed originated - the Bengal cat.
1983 The Bengal cat was registered as a new breed by the TICA (The Independent Cat Association).
1984/85 For the first time, the Bengal cat took part at a cat show.
1990/91 The breed obtained champion status in the USA.
1995 According to TICA, 9000 Bengal cats were registered in cat associations.
In the 70ies, some breeders in the USA attended to the Bengal cat and bred it..
